Does this game support the use of the wii u pro controller instead of the gamepad?

Yes, it does. It uses gamepad, wii mote and/ or nunchuk, or wii u pro controller

Yes because the Wii u console and controller are backwards compatible with Wii games.

No, it is also compatible with the new Wii U Pro controllers that are similar to XBox controllers. The old Wii controllers also work.

Yes you do. You can control the menu and things with the controller but the actual gameplay is all about your own movements.

It can be played quite easily with a keyboard and mouse. I don't own a gamepad, so I don't know if using that makes it any better or worse, but a keyboard and mouse works just fine:)

The Wii U Pro Controller does not connect to anything but the console through the special mini-USB controller adapter, and that's mainly if you want to recharge the controller and use it while it's recharging. When it's fully recharged, it can be used wirelessly if it's properly synced with the Wii U game system.

Gamepad and pro controller. Both have their benefits. The with the gamepad you can see all your items really well. The pro controller has a superior feel in the hands as far as gameplay.

The Wii U Pro controller is only designed for Wii U games. Wii games on Wii U can only be played with controllers that were supported by the regular Wii, such as the regular Wiimote, wiimote+nunchuck, or the Classic Controller Pro. The Wii U also does not have slots for a gamecube controller so those can't be used as well. You'll need a wiimote, the good news is that a lot of Wii U games actually support this older controller and it can be used to navigate Wii U menus so it wouldn't be a bad purchase http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Wii-Remote-Plus-Black/dp/B0094X28J0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412875287&sr=8-1&keywords=wiimote

As far as I know, this will **only** let you connect the Wii U Pro Controller. However, I believe you can use it to connect to a PS3 or PC. Hope this helps.

You can use the Gamepad, Wii U Pro controller, Wiimote, or Wii Motion Plus with this game.

On some titles such as Super Smash Brothers 4 and Super Mario 3-D World. Maybe Mario Cart 8...However, it works on every Wii game that supports that controller usage.

I don't know. It was originally made for the Xbox 360 so it most likely has controller support, but I can't be 100% sure.

Yes, I would suggest you use the gamepad because its more fun interacting with Super Mario 3D. However, there is the option of not using the gamepad so the chose is up to you. Thanks!!

No... unfortunately not. Gamepad is used as a device by your character in the game

I don't know if work for wii u, but you can play xenoblade with the classic control. By the way the best RPG of the wii generation.

Some areas of the game require the gamepad. When you encounter those areas, the game will tell you how to switch controllers.

Not that I know of. Usually games have an option for the circle pad pro in the control options (MGS 3 did), but Smash did not.
